Bobby W. Clark
STAUNTON:
Bobby Wayne Clark, 76, of 332 Amherst Road, beloved Husband, Father and Grandfather, went beyond earths shadows to meet his Heavenly Father on Friday, May 6, 2011, at 12:26 a.m. Though unexpected, God granted his wishes for leaving this world peacefully from home.
He was born, February 26, 1935, in Augusta Springs, the son of the late Irvin Wesley Clark and Mildred (Jackson) Clark Poindexter. He proudly served our country in the U.S. Navy for over 10 years.
In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by two brothers, James I. Bill Clark and Albert L. Jim Clark; his step-father, John B. Poindexter; and one nephew, David L. Tutwiler.
Prior to retirement (numerous times), he worked for Rockingham Construction Company and most recently for Special Fleet Services of Harrisonburg. He loved his work so much, but more importantly, his coworkers who shared in his laughter and friendship as his second family.
In addition to his beloved wife of 50 years, Betty L. (Robertson) Clark, he leaves a lifetime filled with love, kindness and generosity to his survivors which include two sons, Timothy W. Clark of Bent Mountain, VA and Scott A. Clark and wife Lisa of Vesuvius; two grandchildren, Ashby N. Nikki Clark of Greenville and Scott A. Clark, Jr. of Vesuvius; and a special adopted son, Dale Thomasson. Also, surviving is a brother, David Lee Clark of Staunton; a sister, Barbara A. Sissy Tutwiler of Richmond;
four nieces and two nephews; four sister-in-laws that always brought the best of his
personality out immediately.
Nothing meant more to Bobby than his grandchildren. He enjoyed bingo, hunting, fishing, caring for his lawn and being around family and friends. Always quick to make people smile. He would be the first to lighten any situation by always finding the good instead of the bad. The twinkle in his blue eyes always let you know he could lift your spirits. The light he provided to all he met will live forever with those who are left to miss him.
In celebration of his life, the family will receive friends from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Sunday, May 8, 2011 at Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory, 230 Frontier Drive, Staunton, VA. or other times at his residence.
Burial will be private.
Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory, 230 Frontier Drive in Staunton is in charge of his arrangements.
